I picked up this book as it sounded really interesting as I am about to make my first plunge into investment real estate. No jab at the book but it just wasn't what I was looking for.
It spoke about a lot of various real estate mavericks and the history of their success rather than really teaching me how to apply the principles myself which was what I was looking for.

Even though the content of this book focus mostly on the difference financial structure fore real estate in USA, but it's also very useful for non-US reader. The writer has done a lot of research and interview sessions from the best in-class for each difference type of structure. It's a good book to start for the one who want to know all the possible way of invest in real estate.

my boss lent it to me to come up with creative real estate financing strategies. I wish I could give it negative stars. 3 hours of life I'm never getting back
